My 12 track seems much softer than my new 13 track and I think every 1/4 inch in track is huge just like on the sleds!

I haven't ridden it yet, but keep in mind the Long track version also has more spacing between each lug as well. My new LT seems to roll easier than the ST I had if that means anything.

The new track is way better than the old one

In what aspect is it better??I know its stiffer ,everytime I get a stiffer track I get a trencher,Im worried?

On set up snow the track has more bite than the old 1 3/4" track, allowing you to unweight the ski when you're going over obstacles or creek crossings and is better when braking. In powder the new track works good too. It just seems to move more snow and produce more forward bite. Not too sure on the whole "flexible outer edge" thing. Doesn't seem to be any different - they're still a bitch on sled packed single track trails, and the 6" ski still sucks. My .02

2.56 vs 2.85/6

After long discussions with Tracks USA and other track dealers this isn't anything new. The difference between a 121 & 120 track is simply changing out the drives from say a 9 tooth which is the 2.56 to the 2.86 and you can put the 120 with the same pitch. with a harder durometer rubber making it stiffer, 80 to 90 which is out there in readily available production. Frozen Moto is al so changing tracks this year as we found the challenger to be to light of a durometer and the lugs didn't stand up effectively but folded over easily.
